actually they'll prolly be on both sides like the Ron Fellows

dunno, i got an 04 with the z71 suspension... its a crew cab and all I5 too. guess that offroad setup makes the diff.

asside from it being a hyundai... i sort of see it as the new its underestimated and its a lil under the radar. (i'd rather have that WE4 everyday of the week though.)

well... i guess this makes it even about the whole "country that invented the car" statement. although he could have salvaged it by saying the country that invented batter cars

maybe the points are out of adjustment

1987 monte carlo aerocoupe (relative) a cherry 1986-7 olds cutlass black with paint so fine you can see the cars reflections from the road (a solid 20yds away) and a formula firebird in need of much love. like that but all orange and no front clip... sigh.

yeah i thought the silver and black was tastefully done as well. that hurst has a lot of work ahead to bring her back though. the rust in the qtrs was quite profuse... that dent by the sunroof is going to be a beast to get out and back in shape as well.

well... i got a buddy who got out of his 2004 silverado ext cab z71 for a 2006 tacoma doublecab long bed... his reasoning was for fuel economy. so now he gets about 4mpg more and pays $60 more a month while still having to buy gas. not tryin to start an arguement just sayin. fwiw he owned a 2001 tacoma but it got totalled so he got the 1500. now hes back in a tacoma.

i got you a hook up. 69 428 GP SJ 4Sp http://www.hemmings.com/mus/stories/2008/0...n_feature7.html dig it. also i have something of interest from the car show in charlotte. i havent posted the pics yet but i am getting them in order... since i took close to 950 of them.

By JOHN ROGERS, Associated Press Writer John Rogers, Associated Press Writer – Sat May 2, 2:48 pm ET LOS ANGELES – It could crash through burning buildings, make a fool of any number of small-town Southern sheriffs, help save the world from giant robots, even take criminals off to jail while engaging in witty repartee with its driver. In the end, about the only thing a Pontiac automobile couldn't do anymore was persuade enough people to keep buying it. So General Motors announced this past week that it is killing off the Pontiac brand, maker of muscular, noisy, gas-guzzling V-8-powered vehicles immortalized in song and movies for the way they seemed to shout to every other car on the block: "Out of the way, pipsqueak!" When Burt Reynolds needed to outrun Jackie Gleason's bumbling Sheriff Buford T. Justice across the South in the 1977 movie "Smokey and the Bandit," he chose a black Pontiac Trans Am. When he needed a car to crash through burning buildings in "Hooper," it was a red Trans Am. On TV, the star of the hit 1980s series "Knight Rider" wasn't really David Hasselhoff, it was his talking Pontiac. When Jim Garner's private eye Jim Rockford needed to hit the road to solve a crime, he didn't get behind the wheel of a Ford Mustang or a Chevrolet Camaro. He chose a Pontiac Firebird. And when a bored high school senior from Nashville, Tenn., decided to tune out his physics teacher's lecture one day and check out a copy of Car and Driver magazine, it was a picture of a hot new Pontiac he saw on the cover. By the end of class, John Wilkin had written the 1964 pop classic "GTO." Soon after, he would become known as Ronny Wilkin, frontman for a Beach Boys-soundalike group called Ronny and the Daytonas, and he would have the country singing: "Little GTO, you're really lookin' fine. Three deuces and a four-speed and a 389. Listen to her tachin' up now, listen to her whine. Come on and turn it on, wind it up, blow it out GTO." For a time, the Monkees rode around in a tricked-out GTO, too. Sometime in the '80s, however, the love affair began to fade. Car enthusiasts speculated this week whether it was changing tastes, the move toward more environmentally sensitive cars or perhaps Pontiac's inability to keep coming up with new signature muscle cars that was to blame. Pontiac's more recent contributions to America's automotive efforts included the very uncool Aztek, a chunky vehicle that looked like an SUV that tried to squeeze under a low-clearance bridge. Jim Mattison, whose Michigan-based Pontiac Historic Services provides information on the model to collectors, noted that for whatever reason the company hadn't produced anything to capture the public's imagination in a long time. "In 1963, they came out with this wonderful car called the GTO, then the Firebird in 1967, and then that evolved into the Trans Am," Mattison said. "The momentum kept on building until more recent years." Pontiac, which discontinued the Firebird and Trans Am in 2002, tried bringing back the GTO in 2004. But the new model, produced in Australia, never caught on and was discontinued two years later. "It didn't look like a Pontiac. It was still an Australian car," said Chris Brown of the Petersen Automotive Museum, where Pontiacs were on prominent display during a muscle-car exhibition a couple years ago. Brown had praise, however, for two of Pontiac's current models, the G8 and the Solstice. The latter even had enough muscle to be featured in the 2007 Shia LeBeouf movie "Transformers" as the good-guy robot-disguised-as-car named Jazz. But in perhaps an indication of things to come, Jazz was killed off fighting the evil Megatron and probably won't be around for the sequel. Pontiac, however, will live on, at least in museums (there's a 1939 Woody on display at the Petersen), in private collections (Mattison owns more than a few himself), and in song. Wilkin heard "GTO" on the radio just the other day. "It made me happy and sad at the same time," he said. "I was happy to hear the song but at the same time it was like it was being played at a funeral." http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090502/ap_on_..._s_falling_star

you forgot marmon.. and a few more. i was shocked to see the length of that list.

which is just as important as the 2nd. i think thats a slogan or something. Supporting the 2nd so you can protect the 1st.

i also have about 30 or so model cars i have put together... i may get brave and set them out for a pic but they are all in my closet in the boxes.

2004 colorado crew LS. bought new in 04 had 63 miles on it when i took delivery. currently has 73K and is a month away from being paid off. the rest are my airsoft guns regular gear setup. Tokyo Marui AK (started life as the BETA Spetznaz now his hi torque eg1000 motor, hurricane upgrade kit, madbull 6.05mm barrel and systema gearset. worth 410-415fps), Hi-Cappa 1911, 2 x 600 rd mags, a 250rd mag, madbull short grenade launcher, 18rd grenade. Currently the AK is out due to a burn out selector plate. [] closer pic of the Hi-Cappa with Phobus holster. grenade from business end. Current primary weapon. 350-380fps Echo1 SOCOM 16 2x440 rd mags S-System M4 bought off ebay for $70 sans mag and battery for a loaner gun. hurts too much so its only loaned to my team hehe. new loaner ak-47 pulse made by crosman. pretty decent for $100 KWC desert eagle with 10" sniper barrel. also have the 6" in the box. first gas pistol. beretta m93r. came with the folding stock, single or 3 rd burst mode. 50rd mag. all my spring pistols (how it all started) the 2 tone beretta 92 was the first one i bought back in 2000 pump shotgun, decent springer that can lay down good cover. 250rd mag. yours truly in gear. note that normally we have long sleeve bdu's on but its too hot in SC for that right now. with the increase in FPS we had to step up to full face masks (had a couple of bleeder shots a few games back... ouch.). they have heavy duty screen for the eyes cause goggles fog up bad. usually have a balaclava too but like i said waaaay tooooo hooooooot.

finally got some pics off my camera.

Enterprise Rent-A-Car delivered a Saturn Outlook to the dealership shop after the check-engine light appeared and the engine quit running. The problem? Enterprise records showed zero oil changes after 30,000 miles. Brutal results below. As you might expect, going 30,000 miles without an oil change is not a recommended break-in procedure, and as a result the engine oil completely broke down turning into a thick greasy sludge. After finding this mess, technicians contacted Enterprise to see if their records showed any oil changes, which they did not, though it's suspected at some point at least one change was done as the factory oil filter has been replaced. Of course, that might have just been the factory oil filter being replaced. Nonetheless, the engine is completely ruined. It also goes to show just how serious a game of Russian Roulette you're playing if you buy a used rental car. http://jalopnik.com/5235675/saturn-rental-...ter-30000-miles

i'll stick with my earlier answer of eleventy billion a year

or maybe use the g8 as a platform to replace teh sts and a lengthened version to replace the dts... thats my :twocents:

WooHoo someone was thinking the same as me! http://jalopnik.com/5234533/camaro-police-...llet-of-the-law

upstate automotive (chevy, b/p/g, cadillac) has 0 G8's in weeks. soon as they are off the truck, gone. they are trading out vehicles to get G8's from other dealers too. odly enough there are 3 or 4 solstice's and they have 5 or so malibu's but the trucks and all arent moving. oh... yeah and they got those g3's as well one in every color... edit i just went to their website they got 1 G8 GT in panther black metallic for 34K

or just move on to another hobby and let the fire of automotive passion simply turn to embers. there are only so many cars of yesterday. once they are spoken for they are gone. and with the cash for clunkers they may disappear quicker. if no exciting fun to drive cars are built by your fav brand, then 20 yrs down the road there wont be a kid stumbling through a salvage yard looking for his next cool ride.

yeah i love the thought of the next vette sounding like or maybe Cause at the end of the day, when they sound like or or maybe even you dont sound like a motorcycle on steroids.

hehe well it is by AOL autos so i will be a little easier on em, but at least the guy puts out valid points how the new cars are more environmentally friendlier.

to make matters worse only $1000 bucks worth of incentives are thrown at the Canyarodos, while the 1500's have $4000. why wouldnt you spring for the 1500s?
